Be careful which accounts you tag in your posts or DMs. If you tag an account with an @ mention, that account will be able to see your post or DM no matter what visibility you are using.
If you want to mention an account without that account seeing your post, you can (for example) replace the @ symbols with the word AT. Alternatively, you can remove the @ symbols or put spaces around them to stop them working.

On a related topic, it's a little-known fact that Trump's media company stole code from Mastodon when building Truth Social:
blog.joinmastodon.org/2021/10/…
They were found out because the error messages in foreign languages still carried Mastodon branding and they hadn't bothered to change them.
(It was theft because the terms of Mastodon's free open code require crediting the authors of the code, whereas Trump's company claimed authorship of the code.)
